Not since the day it was delivered, just over 2 years ago. It was purchased there, but has been serviced since in Tempe once Roger Penske opened up the store down my way.

Thanks! I liked Horizon Blue the first time I saw it. It doesn't seem to be very popular, though (aside from the fact that they don't offer it anymore...).

Moupe and Mini both start with a 'M' and they have the same parent company so... lol Sorry, guys, not a lot of E86 M owners around.

Both. The sun was there when I shot it, but I enhanced it a bit in post processing to make it stand out more. Thanks!

Meet Scurry! At least, I think that's his name. We'll see how it feels after a few days. Delighted with how it looks and drives; I think it's exactly what I wanted.

Welcome and like the looks.
Don't know what model it is other than it's an S but
an h-sport 19mm rear sway bar set in the center position
will really make the handling all that much better. Removes
most if not all the understeer.
